Kathryn Saurack Barcroft, Special Counsel and #MeToo attorney, was interviewed
on Capital Tonight regarding the nationwide implications of the Pennsylvania
Grand Jury Report detailing the abuse of over 1,000 children by over 300
Catholic priests. Ms. Barcroft emphasizes the need to strengthen protections
for child victims of abuse in the country, as well as in New York State,
as only two criminal charges can be brought from this report. She argues
that statutory changes are necessary to increase the statute of limitations
for reporting of child abuse through the Child Victims Act (“Act”).
In New York, another session has ended, and the Legislature has again
failed to pass any version of the Act. #MeToo has demonstrated that sexual
harassment, assault, and abuse of children remains an omnipresent societal
issue that remains inadequately addressed; often times shrouded by both
secrecy, social bias and insufficient legal protections.
